INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS

1. In order to maintain a uniform standard in marking, markers should adhere to the marking scheme agreed
at the markers’ meeting.

2. The marking scheme may not exhaust all possible answers for each question. Markers should exercise
their professional discretion and judgment in accepting alternative answers that are not in the marking
scheme but are correct and well reasoned.

3. The following symbols are used:

/ A single slash indicates an acceptable alternative within an answer.

* Step-mark (for questions involving calculations)

† Correct spelling required

4. In questions asking for a specified number of reasons or examples etc. and a candidate gives more than the
required number, the extra answers should not be marked. For instance, in a question asking candidates
to provide two examples, and if a candidate gives three answers, only the first two should be marked.

5. In cases where a candidate answers more questions than required, the answers to all questions should be
marked. However, the excess answer(s) receiving the lowest score(s) will be disregarded in the calculation
of the final mark.

6. Award zero marks for answers which are contradictory.

7. Chemical equations should be balanced except those in reaction schemes for organic synthesis. For
energetics, the chemical equations given should include the correct state symbols of the chemical species
involved.

Chemical equations must be balanced. State symbols are optional. Give mark even the state symbols are not
correct.
Marks

3. (a) (i)  Add NH3(aq) to the two solutions separately until in excess. 1
 Al2(SO4)3(aq): a white ppt insoluble in excess NH3(aq). ZnSO4(aq): a white ppt 1
soluble / and then a (clear) solution is formed in excess NH3(aq).
OR
 Add excess NH3(aq). (1)
 Only Al2(SO4)3(aq) gives a white precipitate. (1)
[If observation wrote “Only ZnSO4(aq) gives a white ppt which redissolves to form
a colourless solution.” 0 mark for observation]
OR
 Add Al(s). (1)
 Only ZnSO4(aq) gives (silvery / grey) solid deposits. (1)
1 mark for correct reagent and 1 mark for correct observation

(ii)  Reagent and conditions: Na2CO3(aq) / NaHCO3(aq) / 1

Mg(s) / Na2CO3(s) / NaHCO3(s) is added to CH3CO2H(l) + water / CH3COOH(aq)
 Observation: CH3COOH(l) gives out a (colourless) gas. No observable change for 1
( CH3)3COH(l).
(If no water is added, no mark for reagent but can give mark to correct observation)
OR
 Reagent and conditions: Add a specific alcohol / carboxylic acid + acid catalyst (1)
 Observation: a fruity smell for CH3CO2H / (CH3)3COH but the other does not. (1)
(If alcohol/carboxylic acid not specific or not mention acid catalyst, no mark for
reagent but can give mark to correct observation (fruity smell).
OR
 Reagent and conditions: Add conc. HCl(aq) (+ ZnCl2(aq) catalyst) (1)
 Observation: Only (CH3)3COH forms 2 immiscible liquid layers. (1)
(A comparative sense)

(iii) Orange / yellow / red precipitate / solid 1

(b) (i)  Add Na2CO3(aq)/NaHCO3(aq)/NaOH(aq) to the crude sample in the separating 2

funnel. Shake and release the pressure from time to time.
(1 mark for separating funnel and 1 mark for adding the correct reagent)
(Accept: adding a suitable organic solvent)
 Discard the lower layer / aqueous layer. OR 1
Collect the upper layer / organic layer.
(Accept: Discard the upper aqueous layer OR Collect the lower organic layer).
(If the reagent is wrong, no mark for this step.)
